Re: D'harhan

Dude, you have some serious talent!

Does anyone know, do they ever do SW graphic novels? I'd think Fett and his cronies would lend themselves to it, since they're so much larger than life. I like graphic novels because they're way more than comic books, they're a nice blend of both arts: drawing and writing.

Re: D'harhan

There are a LOT of Star Wars graphic novels: just finds a bookstore like Borders or Barnes&Nobles, withgraphic novel adaptions of the Thrawn Trilogy, The Dark Empire trilogy, Crimson Empire, the Clone Wars, Jedi stuff...and much more. Only one I can think of off the top of my head that's all Fett is "Death, Lies, and Treachery", a pretty good read.

Gracias! I'm not terribly good at drawing established characters like you are, but I sketch compulsively whenever I can, and stuff like that comes out. I'll post some more definitive pictures of him later this week... tommorow I'll try to do some Shell Hutts.

Re: D'harhan

Wow Balance Sheet, that was definitely worth the wait. And clearly I need to read it again too, because I could have sworn the cannon stuck out of his chest.... (I'd better fix my fanfiction before someone notices.)

Re: D'harhan

Yes, I just read Last of the Jedi the other day, which was totally cool (except that I thought it took away from D'harnan's mystery). Balancesheet, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not writing about D'harnan, I just had Bossk make a reference to him in a humor fanfiction.

Re: D'harhan

I have technical question for you Balancesheet, hope you don't mind:When you shade the dark areas such as the shoulders and armor plates, is that where you use the photoshop? I'm kind of artistic myself and computers scare me so I was asking what part is computer and what part is free hand.(btw, the image is great, you're just the critical author always wanting to make things better. good work!)

My SUV is now the Enemy, look at my average life and nothing has been alright... I'm preoccupied with 1985... (Bowling for Soup)

Re: D'harhan

I don't mind. Yes, I shaded the dark areas with Photoshop...I just sketched the body, scanned it, increased the contrast on the lines, and poured black into the areas I wanted.Mind you, black is really the only color that works well that way...I still haven't quite figured out how to render other colors more realistically. When I have more free time (June), I'll put up some more artwork.

I don't know exactly if this is what you had in mind, but Pixel2Life has some great coloring tutorials. (As well as plenty of other great Photoshop tutorials.)
